Exhibitor Tip: Think about traffic flow within your booth. We put a lot of thought into traffic flow within the show but if the visitors can't flow through your booth at the show then your potential impact is decreased. Have lanes and clear paths to entice visitors into your booth so you can engage them.

Exhibitor Tip:
The visual impact of your booth and signage are possibly the most important aspects of any trade show display. A general rule of thumb for signage? When someone looks at your display, they should be able to tell within four seconds who you are, what you do, and what problem you are solving.

Design Tip: If you want to make a room look bigger, use mirrors -they give you an illusion of more space! Also try installing your picture frames on eye level - putting them high on the wall makes your ceiling seem lower…aside from the fact that people will have to gaze up to look at your picture.

Design Tip:
Clock ticking slowly at work...?  If you are thinking of changing wall colour at your work or office space, consider green.  Green spaces make time seem to move faster, this is why on stage sets, the waiting room is often referred to as "the green room".

Design Tip:
On a budget but want a fresh look for your home? Consider reupholstering  your old sofas or chairs with a much loved fabric and toss in a few new cushions – it will change the feel of the room while keeping your bank account afloat. Hate those old, dated closet doors but can’t afford to replace them? Try wallpapering them, it will create dimension and a focal point in any room.
